Criminal Sexual Conduct 3rd Degree

Without a talented team of lawyers defending your freedom, charges of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree could result in a lengthy prison sentence. If you or anyone you know has been accused of criminal sexual conduct (CSC) in the third degree in Michigan, contact the highly respected attorneys at Grabel & Associates. Our team will relentlessly fight the prosecution’s case against you, and earn you the best result in your sexual assault case.

Third degree CSC charges are outlined in the Michigan Penal Code (750.520d), and a person is guilty of CSC in the third degree if sexual penetration occurs accompanying any of the following:

The other person is between 13 and 16 years of age.

Force or coercion (i.e. weapons, articles used to imitate weapons, physical violence, threats of violence, threats of future harm, unacceptable medical treatment or examination, surprise or concealment) is used to commit sexual penetration.

The accused knows (or has reason to know) the victim is mentally incapable, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless.

The other person is related to the accused by blood or affinity to the third degree.

The other person is over 16 but under 18 years old and the accused is any of the following: a teacher, substitute teacher, or administrator of the school or district in which that person is enrolled (unless that other person is emancipated or the two are legally married at the time of the alleged crime); an employee, volunteer or service provider of the school or district (who is not a student) and uses this standing to gain access to or establish a relationship with the other person.

The other person is between 16 and 26 years of age and is receiving special education services combined with any of the following: the accused is a teacher, substitute teacher, administrator, employee, or non-student volunteer and uses this status to gain access to or establish a relationship with the other person (does not apply if legally married at the time of the offense).

These conditions may seem confusing, but our legal experts can help guide you through the defense process. If you or anyone you know is under investigation or has been accused of criminal sexual conduct in Michigan, contact Grabel & Associates immediately.
